With the vulnerability, unpredictability, and ambiguity of the situation, schools all over the world have faced a variety of restrictions and unprecedented risks that caused some to cease operations and classes permanently or for an extended period of time. The concept of risk has become closely associated with every school process and structure so as to aid them in adapting to the current situation. This paper explores the concept of risk management and risks planning through the lens of school management and the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) Cycle. Furthermore, the researchers link the permeation of the direct and indirect effects of risks in the school system by reflecting on the layers of the school’s bioecological nest as adapted from the Bioecological Theory of Urie Bronfenbrenner. Finally, this paper suggests a model for risk planning that can help school administrators and leaders in managing risks and aid future researchers in studying concepts related to risk management.

A tourism satellite account (TSA) is a synthetic statistical operation closely linked to the central core of a country's national accounts, placing an emphasis on tourism activity. It isolates the various items making up economic tourism activity from the universe of national accounts in order to: specify the impact and describe the direct and indirect effects of tourism on the economy; quantify the overall impact of tourism; analyse the relationships between tourism and the rest of the economy; and make it possible to use major qualitative parameters in analysing tourism activity – place of residence, sex, income, duration of stay, etc. This report outlines the efforts of the World Tourism Organization (WTO) to develop a flexible and sustainable framework for the national and international implementation of TSAs.

Evidence of changes in weather parameters like ambient temperature, precipitation, wind flow, etc., are prominently visible across the world. These changes have been reported to effect global crop yield. This review compiles both direct and indirect effects of climate change on global crop productivity with highlights on existing local and global scenarios. As a conclusion, it may be stated that thorough understanding of agricultural techniques and analysis of global change factors is highly essential for achieving sustainable agricultural yield over the upcoming years

School closure and home confinement are two of the measures of lockdown chosen by governments and policymakers all over the world to prevent and limit the spread of the infection of COVID-19. There is still an open debate about the real effect of school closure on the reduction of risk of infection on children and the risk of infection on with other age groups (parents, grandparents and others). There is an agreement on the effect of school closure in reducing and delaying the peak of the outbreak. In this Editorial, starting from the ongoing Italian experience, we discuss direct and indirect effects of school closure on children’s psychological health and learning. We also highlight the need for an “on peace time” planning of measures and strategies necessary to face the direct and indirect effect of this outbreak and other outbreaks, on children’s psychological health.

The potential of an allelopathic plant to exert direct and indirect effects depends in large part on the chemistry of the plant and whether putative allelochemicals reach meaningful levels in the environment surrounding the plant. Cleome viscosa L. (Capparidaceae) (synonym: C. icosandra L.) is a weed distributedthroughout the tropics of the world and the plains of India Results on the qualitative analysis on the root, stem and leaves of C. viscosa showed that the presence of saponins and flavonoids in all their three organs. The presence of alkaloids was noticed only in Wagner's test not in the Mayor's and Dragendorff's test. GC-MSresults of whole plant of C.viscosa showed the presence 3-O-Methyl-d-glucose (73%), followed by Benzofuran,2,3-dihydro (9.844%) and : n-Hexadecanoic acid (4.707%) of the total 32 compounds.

The World Health Organization has described poverty as the greatest cause of suffering on earth. This article considers the direct and indirect effects of relative poverty on the development of emotional, behavioural and psychiatric problems, in the context of the growing inequality between rich and poor. The problems of children in particular are reviewed. Targets to reduce inequality have been set both nationally and internationally.
